Analysis Paralysis
I just heard this phrase for the first time and what a wonderful phrase it is! Deny analysis paralysis. That is to say, don't hyperventilate wondering what the absolute best option is because this delays any positive outcome and undermines your own gut in the process. This is complete workflow sabotage. And more importantly, certainly avoid it while hosting a live show. Those eight seconds you took deciding whether to run it or not caused five people to exit your show before you even made the decision. The additional six seconds you took deciding to run it for $20 rather than "$5 and go" took another three people out. Let's not talk about how long you waffled over who made it. On Whatnot with a room full of 40 people, it doesn't so much matter if Schreiner made it. It matters how pretty the item is and how many viewers decide that must have it which is predominantly based on how quick you were on your feet. (Oh, I'm guilty of manufacturer waffling!) In summary, make speedy gut decisions and you'll accomplish so much more while building exemplary self confidence as well as the confidence of your customer. To beak it down one step further, do you admire a person who obsesses before making a move or are you drawn to someone who makes a decision and owns it? Even if they fail, you hold them in high esteem for busting a move and running with the ball. (Ew, a sports analogy. What is this, a zoom call?!) XO, Fondly not written with AI, threefortytwo

These are some of the prettiest from my recent haul. But, I really don’t know the best way to go about identifying them. What would you do? Did I miss that lesson? Thanks

Cost Fatigue... Don't Overshare
Today's tip may be a bit of tough for some... No customer cares what you paid, nor do they want to hear it. It's an instant vibe killer. Your customers want to know they are getting the lowest price possible. If you disclose you paid $50, can you truly expect it to sell for $85? If you paid $50 then that's the market price, why should they pay more? Why are you a better single item buyer than your customer? You are a bulk or wholesale buyer, and you may have a cost average assigned to each piece in a lot, but don't single out a single item and flap your arms while clucking on about how hard it was to buy or that you're in too deep on it... Your customers will exit the room, I promise you that. I will occasionally share a price paid with the room simply as an interesting talking point, but never from a mentality of "I paid $50 so I need to make $75". I still start the item at $10 and let the room dictate what it's actually worth. I understand you may not have 50 people in your room, so start it at half market price so you don't take a huge hit. You will ALWAYS sell some items at a loss. If you aren't missing on a few pieces every show, you're not growing. The following phrases I hear all the time, and I urge you to cut every one of them out of your sales flow: - I paid up for this - I paid X dollars for this - I need to get AT LEAST X dollars for this - This was expensive - I paid too much for this - I got carried away on this one - I don't have much room on this Set an asking price, start the auction, tell everyone why they should buy it, hit the gas and if you don't have a different item in your hands in 22 seconds, you're in the wrong industry.

@Lisa Cavallaro yes def !
My best win yet...now what??!!
Hello! I've been a lurker here & in Brad's shows for awhile, but I've learned so much just from watching (and love the entertainment value obv). I'm newer to the reselling game and I recently got my hands on an amazing collection, and immediately thought about this group. I'm posting to ask for some advice (and maybe brag a little bit 🫣). First off I wouldn't be anywhere near as excited about this win it I wasn't a member (/lurker lol) of this community having learned so much in the past few months! You are all awesome. I've come across Weiss, Coro, Ceil Chapman, Liztech, Lisner, Joan Rivers, and a few more in this collection so far. That may be business as usual for more experienced sellers, but I feel like I won the lottery! I typically run $3 starts and have 20-30 higher end items in my shop at any given time. My question for anyone who has read this far...how do you/would you tackle large lots like this? Put as much as possible in your shop? Put only the best of the best in your shop? Tiered starting bids for random pulls based on the pieces? I appreciate any advice anyone has!!! I'm ready to shed blood sweat and tears for these babies Btw I am luckyarchive on Whatnot!!
My best win yet...now what??!!
